Exergy analysis of an adsorption refrigeration machine
This paper presents an original model of exergy analysis of an adsorption refrigeration machine, connected with irreversible processes of heat and mass transfer during the functioning stages. The difficulty of such approach is related to the non-stationary character of the thermodynamic processes. Thus, the highest destruction of exergy appears in the adsorption and desorption processes due to ...

Process design, simulation and integration of a new desalter in the crude distillation unit of a refinery
This study presents the design and modification of a desalting unit in an existing refinery where crude oil is desalted in a single-stage desalter. The design considers a scheduled increase in the crude feedstock, and change from the current lighter blend to a future heavier blend. A more stringent limit with regard to salt content in the desalted crude is also applied. The simulation studies ...

Helium gas for nuclear reactors case study
Application Moisture is measured in helium gas used for nuclear reactors. The helium is used as a reactor coolant because of its excellent thermal properties and chemical inertness. Problem If the helium becomes contaminated with moisture, it will cause both degradation of graphite rods and an undesired change in the process's heat balance. At worst, a complete reactor shut down could result ...
